  • Patent number: 10712628
    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to display control in display devices. In an example implementation, a display control layer for a display device comprises a first set of channels filled with a first electrochromic material to control a view angle of a display from the display device, and a second set of channels filled with a second electrochromic material to control absorption of blue/ultraviolet (UV) light from the display device. Each adjacent pair of channels of the second set sandwiches a channel of the first set.

  • Patent number: 7830352
    Abstract: A driving circuit. The driving circuit includes a plurality of scan shift register cells, a pair of complementary clock signal lines, and a horizontal start signal generator. Each scan shift register cell comprises a bidirectional circuit, a shift register coupled to the bidirectional circuit, a transmission gate coupled to the shift register, and a data line coupled to the transmission gate. The complementary clock signal lines are coupled to the shift registers. The horizontal start signal generator provides a horizontal start signal to the bidirectional circuits in the first and a subsequent scan shift register cells. The shift register in each scan shift register cell provides an output signal to the bidirectional circuit in the next scan shift register cell. The bidirectional circuit in each scan shift register cell also receives the output signal from the shift register in the next scan shift register cell.
